Dan, best known for starring as romantic lead Matthew Crawley in the award-winning ITV1 series, has spoken of his pride of getting the film off the ground on the back of Downton-mania. "It's led to me being an executive producer on a film I've been trying to make for about five or six years, a film called Summer In February," he has said. "It's looking very cool and it's a beautiful script and we're very excited about it."

Hattie Morahan and Ophelia Lovibond will also star in the film adaptation of Jonathan Smith's novel, to be directed by Christopher Menual according to Screen International.
